OBJECTIVE: Pyomyoma is a rare and potentially fatal infection of a uterine leiomyoma that typically occurs after vaginal delivery or uterine artery embolization. Hysteroscopy, a minimally invasive procedure that allows direct visualization …
OBJECTIVE: To identify related factors that affect the ovarian reserve after laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy in patients with endometriomas. STUDY DESIGN: It was a retrospective cohort study performed in a tertiary-care university hospital…
Adenomyosis is a condition characterised by the invasion of endometrial tissues into the uterine myometrium, the molecular pathogenesis of which remains incompletely elucidated. Lesion profiling with next-generation sequencing (NGS) can lea…
PURPOSE: Uterine fibroids are benign gynecologic tumors and commonly occur in women by the age of 50. Women with symptomatic uterine fibroids generally receive surgical intervention, while they do not favor the invasive therapies. To evalua…
Synchronous endometrial and ovarian carcinomas (SEOCs) that share the same endometrioid histology are generally considered as the result of metastatic spread from one organ to another. However, SEOCs with different histologies are regarded …
This study was designed to evaluate the learning curve of applying Seprafilm (modified hyaluronic acid and carboxymethylcellulose; Genzyme, Cambridge, MA, USA) during laparoscopic hysterectomy or subtotal hysterectomy with or without adnexe…
OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate an innovative idea for a four-petal method for performing laparoscopic adenomyomectomy on a patient with focal-type adenomyosis. DESIGN: A step-by-step explanation of the technique with narrated video footage. SE…
Stress-induced phosphoprotein-1 (STIP1), an adaptor protein that coordinates the functions of HSP70 and HSP90 in protein folding, has been implicated in the development of human gynecologic malignancies. This case-control study investigates…
BACKGROUND: To assess whether the unilateral or bilateral lesions can affect ovarian reserve and pregnancy outcome in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) in infertility patients underwent laparoscopic cystecto…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the use of Tisseel, a 2-component fibrin sealant agent for the control of minor bleeding and repair of the ovarian defect at the end of laparoscopic cystectomy (LC) of endometriomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From Janua…
PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to explore non-steroid anti-inflammation drugs (NSAIDs) potency for pelvic floor muscle pain by measuring local concentration in a rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We used nine NSAIDs, including nabumeton…
AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the laterality of ovarian endometrioma on pregnancy outcome of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) in infertile patients undergoing laparoscopic cystectom…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To review the feasibility of laparoscopic repair in cases of ureteral injuries occurring during gynecologic laparoscopy. DESIGN: Retrospective study (Canadian Task Force classification II-3). SETTING: Institution-specific…
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether the laparoscopist's experience can affect ovarian reserve and pregnancy outcome in vitro fertilization-intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI) patients who previously underwent laparoscopic conservative trea…
Ovarian cancers are frequently not diagnosed until advanced stages, resulting in a high case fatality rate. Because of this, more tumor markers, in addition to CA125, for detecting and monitoring ovarian cancer are needed. During a systemat…
OBJECTIVE: To report a case of endometriosis located at an unusual site in the canal of Nuck. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. PATIENT(S): A 35-year-old woman with no pr…
Since the initial description of laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) in 1979, many reports of this technique have been published worldwide. The indications for LM have grown in line with improvements in laparoscopic techniques and instruments over…
OBJECTIVE: To report the successful management of bladder endometriosis with laparoscopic and transurethral partial cystectomy. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Tertiary-care university hospital. PATIENT(S): A 36-year-old woman with bladder…
OBJECTIVE: We report on two infertile women with localized adenomyosis who had successful pregnancies after treatment with laparoscopic cytoreductive surgery. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Tertiary care university hospital. PATIENT(S): T…
BACKGROUND: A novel approach in combined laparoscopic and vaginal procedures through the posterior cul-de-sac for subtotal hysterectomy is introduced. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty-one women with menometrorrhagia, symptomatic adenomyosis, o…
Two cases of unilateral labial edema occurred after laparoscopic presacral neurectomy and were associated with massive chylous ascites. One woman was cured by a second laparoscopy to repair the chylous leakage. In the other, vulvar edema su…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of laparoscopic uterine artery ligation on symptomatic adenomyosis. DESIGN: Prospective pilot study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). SETTING: Tertiary care major teaching hospital. PAT…
